My fraternity has a chapter that gets their pledges, once they initiate, to sign a 2-year lease; they're 18 so it's a legal document. Their house capacity is 92, too. They probably overdid it when they expanded the house in '89...probably should have put capacity around 75.
We have a dormant chapter that had a 5 semester live-in requirement. That got them in the house more often than not for 3 full years.
We have another chapter that has I think a 5 or 6 semester live-in requirement. The house once held 75, but now it's rated for I think 51 or 52. Each fall they pledge only 17 (17x3=51).
The only drawback I see to having a 2+ year live-in requirement is usually the seniors aren't involved with the chapter, either by choice or because the "chapter" is the "house (ie who's living in the chapter house)."
